Where a voter has not received a ballot paper by the fourth working day before the day of the ballot, that person may apply (whether or not in person) to the ballot holder for a replacement ballot paper.

(2)

Such an application shall include evidence of the voter’s identity.

(3)

Where the application is received by the ballot holder not later than 3 working days before the day of the ballot and the ballot holder—

is satisfied as to the voter’s identity; and

(b)

has no reason to doubt that the voter did not receive the original ballot paper;

the ballot holder shall issue another ballot paper.
